Sampleando micropolíticas da pirraça em Baco Exu do Blues

Abstract

This dissertation presents discussions and reflections for the broadening of conceptions about the black Brazilian historical-cultural and literary fields, in the search for dialogues permeated by the importance of sung orality for the identity construction of Afro-Brazilian literature in contemporary times through the musicality set by rap production -literary, especially in the potency of a pirraça in movement in the songs of the Bahian singer Baco Exu do Blues. From his albums Esú, released in 2017, and Bluesman, released in 2018, and the audiovisual productions related to the records, proposals for identity maintenance were identified in his artistic articulations that proposed everyday actions, raised by micropolitics of pirraça. In this way, through his work, the singer operates critically in the relations between subalternity and insurrection caught by the musical and audiovisual arts and reveals autonomous experiences to the hegemonies of power, which are placed beyond Afro-diasporic oral productions. Taking place through the intersectional interruptibility of the rap-literary multimodal productions, in the search for the repositioning of the black body as a producer of discourses erased by the principles validated to writing as a scientific source, with a view to restructuring the organizational orders of the world, the productions are opposing the necropolitical processes to the elusive actions of creation and the updating of the diaspora black. Baco Exu do Blues delegates to artistic movements an expansion of the historical mechanisms of cultural continuity and black literary writing in Brazil. In this way, this study will cover identity debates about the experiences and writings of the current self in the peripheral sphere, proposing an expansion towards the gaze, as highlighted by bell hooks (2019a). With this, to elucidate the micropolitics of pirraça, theorists such as Deleuze and Guattari (1974), Judith Butler (2019), Leda Maria Martins (2003), and Jorge Augusto Silva (2020) will be raised.
